Daerik Lofton
Lead Budgeting Instructor
Spent 14 years managing departmental budgets at mid-sized tech companies before starting his own consulting practice. Daerik specializes in helping people understand where their money actually goes—not just where they think it goes.
Cassia Tremaine
Personal Finance Strategist
After working in banking for a decade, Cassia realized most people don't need complex investment strategies—they need solid budgets. She teaches practical approaches that actually fit into busy lives without requiring spreadsheet expertise.
What You'll Actually Learn
This isn't a lecture series. We meet weekly for interactive sessions where you'll work on your own budget with guidance. The program runs 12 weeks starting September 2025, with flexible evening and weekend options.
Tracking What You Actually Spend
Before you can budget, you need accurate data. We'll show you simple tracking methods that work for different lifestyles—whether you're managing a household or running a small business. Most people are surprised by what they discover.
Creating Budgets That Stick
Generic budget templates fail because they don't match how you actually live. You'll build a custom budget that accounts for irregular expenses, seasonal variations, and those weird costs that only happen to you.
Handling the Unexpected
Car repairs. Medical bills. That one thing you forgot about. We'll work on building buffers and emergency strategies that don't require massive savings accounts. It's about being prepared without paranoia.
Long-Term Planning Basics
Once your budget is working, we'll look at bigger picture planning—saving for goals, reducing debt strategically, and making decisions that matter years from now. No get-rich-quick schemes, just realistic approaches.
How We Actually Teach This Stuff
Small groups of 8-12 people meet weekly for two-hour sessions. You'll work on your own finances while instructors provide guidance and answer questions. It's more workshop than classroom.
We've found this approach works better than online courses or large seminars. You get personalized feedback without the awkwardness of one-on-one financial counseling. Plus, you'll meet others dealing with similar challenges.
Weekly sessions let you test strategies and report back on what worked
Small groups mean you get actual attention when you're stuck
